MBK, bike

That paint job is fantastic

Nothing like the GT triple triangle. It's just a pierced top tube. No real advantage but I suppose there aren't any seat lugs to break off. MBK made frames for the Lotto pro team in the 90s, or at least that's what the decals said. What you have there is '92 Lotto team colours.

The Hellenic design goes way back . 1923 I think with Fred Helens. But there's a lot of smoke and mirrors lol

When Robert Millar rode for Fagor in 1988 they were on MBK bikes. He was not a big fan and said that MBK stood for "Made By Klingons"

Pros ride what they're paid to ride. It's not as if Peter Sagan can say, "This Spesh is too noodly for my massive legs, I want one of those Pinarellos like the Ineos boys."
